Following earlier loop and turntablism experiments during the 1970s and '80s with Louisville, KY, musical improvisation group Stutter, now under his sound art pseudonym, BLK w/ BEAR, Washington DC-based artisan JS (Jim) Adams has created both temporal turntable installations and laptop compositions utilizing forced looping technique of altered vinyl recordings along with 'dead media' recording sources such as Mutoscope 'Voice-o-Graph' and Wilcox Gay 'Recordio' discs. BLK w/ BEAR is now a full-band effort of Adams (loops, pepared vinyl), Doug Poplin (cello, effects), PD Sexton (bass, effects, source electronics), and Renee Shaw (live video mix).
